New Tariff Rates Cut Duty on Butter Mutton in Australasian Trade
The Caunian tariff lowers duties on Australian and New Zealand goods especially butter and mutton. Old butter duty was two pence per pound, now Australian butter is marked at fourpence halfpenny and New Zealand at fourteenpence. Canada exported 568 thousand pounds in 1903-04, largely to Britain, with US sources supplying most imports. Multiple local incidents and notes follow, including rail fatalities at Karrakatta and a confession after a robbery at Tower Hill. The Melbourne strike movement seeks funds, and public figures note anniversaries and military prizes in Christchurch and Victoria. A lands minister proposal would require tree planting credits in future crown grants.
